Environmentally friendly cleaning services are comparable in price to companies that use chemical cleaners. Good for you, good for workers, good for the planet!

SPRING CLEANING!

Landfills aren't equipped to handle the toxic trash we're generating in increasing amounts. Electronic equipment ofteh contains lead and mercury, among other nasty substances, which can leach from landfills into groundwater.

  • The Computer TakeBack campaign offers a list of manufacturers that allow you to return obsolete equipment
  • The Wireless Alliance might mail you a postag-paid envelope for that old cell phone, depending on the model. Also, a lot of local non-profits will take your phone. Sacred Fools Theatre is one of the theatres that I know of, that takes old phones and recycles them
  • Dump electronics at the various S.A.F.E. Collection Centers in the city - 800.98.TOXIC
  • Head to one of the county's roving hazardous material collection events to unburden from old fertilizer to drained batteries to moldering paint cans

If you can suggest more links please send them my way and I'll post it here.
